President Buhari of Nigeria. POLITICAL OPINION. By Osamede R. Okhomina.  I wish to draw the attention of the nation to ongoing underhand scheming by Muhammadu Buhari and the people around him to retain power in the North through 2023 presidential election.When we say the North, we mean the imposition of another Fulani Oligarch candidate on the nation. Apart from the country having had enough of their misrule, it is only fair and equitable that power shifts to the South at…

Mr. Adegboruwa, SAN. OPINION. By Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa. On this page last week, I discussed the increased state of insecurity in Nigeria, following the mindless killing of one school pupil and the abduction of 27 others in Kagara, Niger State, on February 17, 2021, incessant killings by bandits and insurgents and general criminal activities all over the land, symptomatic of a failed state. It was like a prophecy foretold because exactly three days after, on February 26, 2021, 317 girls,…

President Buhari. REJOINDER By Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa. Last week’s piece on the above topic attracted a variety of comments from readers and the general public. The topic itself was the subject of national discourse. And as if reading my mind, the Senate, for the umpteenth time, asked the President to sack the service chiefs, whilst the House of Representatives invited the President to address it on no specific date. The Speaker was later to be seen in Aso Villa, ostensibly…

Mr. Adegboruwa, SAN. OPINION. By Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa.The governorship election in Ondo State is scheduled for Saturday, October 10, 2020. There are similarities and differences in the Edo and Ondo elections and lots of lessons to learn by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

Chief Ozokhome, SAN. OPINION. By Mike Ozokhome. The broadcast was lame, defensive, lacklustre, uninspiring and devoid of Presidential gravitas. It convinces more that the president is out of tune with the stark reality of a 208 million people he governs. He compared us with some neighbouring countries. I disagree with Mr president. Do many of them produce oil? Are we not the 7th oil producer in the world? Is Buhari aware that most of our industries have relocated to,…
